People could get a federal tax credit for installing a home water filter that removes most lead and PFAS. The credit would be larger for a main home than a second home, and it would be capped at $2,500 per tax year.

PURE Water Act is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
Latest action on H.R. 1441: Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people who own or use a home in the United States and want to install a water filter for drinking water. It matters most for households worried about lead, PFAS, or PFOA in their water. It would also affect tax preparers and the Internal Revenue Service, because they would need to handle and verify the new credit.
Why this matters: This bill could make home water filters cheaper for people who are worried about lead and PFAS in drinking water. It tries to support cleaner drinking water through a tax break instead of a new rule. The real effect would depend on how many people buy qualifying filters and claim the credit. It would not fix public water pipes or water treatment systems, and it would not cover the ongoing cost of keeping filters working.
